The play of the week for the Calgary Stampeders took place far from the windy confines of Canad Inns Stadium.
Long snapper Randy Chevrier -- a McGill graduate and blue-collar player who rarely hears his name called over the loudspeaker -- potentially saved a life far from the watchful eye of the blue-clad crowd.

Three McGill University graduates -- Randy Chevrier, Greg Hetherington and Jean-Nicolas Carrière (pictured from left to right) -- are listed among the official rosters posted online by the eight Canadian Football League teams as they get set to open the CFL campaign on Wednesday.

Tomas Silva, a kicker with the McGill University Redmen, was added to the active roster by the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League, Monday. He becomes the 54th McGill player to make a CFL team and joins Calgary long-snapper Randy Chevrier as one of only two McGill products currently on a CFL roster.
